INTAQT (2021-2026) INnovative Tools for Assessment and Authentication of chicken meat, beef, and dairy products’ QualiTies

Coordinated by INRAE - Institut National De Recherche Pour L'Agriculture, L'Alimentation et L'Environnement (Bruno Martin)

Partner: University of Bologna (Massimiliano Petracci)

INTAQT project will perform an in-depth multi-criteria assessment of the relationship between husbandry systems and intrinsic quality traits of animal-sourced products. Researchers will develop quality assessment and authentication tools that provide science-based decision support for policy makers, industries, farmers, and consumers, in addition to improving husbandry practices. The initiative will focus on unprocessed and processed ready-to-eat chicken meat, beef and dairy products stemming from husbandry systems of different European countries. INTAQT will involve all actors of the agri-food chains, from farmers to consumers, scientists, certification bodies, policy makers and citizens to achieve consistent and verifiable high-quality animal-based products from both extensive and intensive husbandry systems.
